Since Netscape is a memory greedy program, you would probably find it nicer
to download the split HTML version of the docs. It's much lighter than the
'single html' version. The Handbook is a large document. Printer on paper
it took more than 700 pages last time I checked. Loading this in Netscape
running on a machine with little RAM and not enough swap space is going to
exchaust all physical and swap memory pretty soon. There is nothing wrong
with the Handbook :P
